Ryuichi sakamoto - poet of sound

On October 21, 2026, at 7 PM, the Kaunas State Philharmonic will resonate with music of extraordinary sensitivity - works for piano by one of the most prominent composers of our time, Ryuichi Sakamoto, will be brought to life in the interpretation of pianist Darius Mažintas.

This is a special concert dedicated to the memory of the genius who left us a few years ago - a creator whose music became a poetry of silence and sound, a subtle dialogue between fragility and light.

Ryuichi Sakamoto's work, saturated with Eastern aesthetics and universal beauty, invites you on an inner journey. His music blends a breath of melancholy with transparent flashes of light - every note is like a gentle touch on the human soul, opening up the deepest emotional spaces.

Pianist Darius Mažintas is an artist recognized in Lithuania and abroad, capable of creating special moments of suspended time. His interpretations convey tranquility, inner concentration, and at the same time, passion and intellectual depth. His experience on international stages allows him to convey R. Sakamoto's music with respect, sensitivity, and creative freedom.

This concert in Kaunas is also special because it is traveling outside of Vilnius for the first time, where four sold-out evenings of the R. Sakamoto program have already been held. With this concert, we want to delight Kaunas music lovers as well, giving them the opportunity to experience this exceptional musical program live in the space of the Philharmonic hall.

The evening of October 21 will become not just a concert, but a sensitive encounter with music that invites you to stop, listen, and remember what is truly important. It is a gift not only for music gourmets but for everyone seeking meaning, silence, and beauty.

October 21, 7 PM, Kaunas State Philharmonic. Let the music lift you up.
